Extended Care Programme

The ICS Extended Care Programme offers child care services to children from EY1 to Grade 5 before school begins and after school. Children enjoy organised activities led by a teacher and supported by a team of teaching assistants. The programme is available Monday through Friday.

The Early Morning Care Programme offers families child care from 7:30 onwards. A healthy, nutritious breakfast is included in the daily 15 CHF cost. Children enjoy quiet activities and are brought to their classroom for registration at 8:25.

The After School Care Programme runs from 15:15 to 17:30, with flexible pick-up time until 18:00. The programme offers different learning opportunities each week, including visits to the forest, sports activities and creative explorations. Additionally, space is available for students to work on independent learning, receive support for home learning, read books, and enjoy small group activities. A nutritious afternoon snack is also included in the daily 30 CHF cost.

These programmes are held in the dedicated Extended Care space which provides a comfortable and cosy spot to enjoy the before school and after school activities. The school's gym, dance studio and outdoor spaces, including the ICS Research Garden are also available for the children to use and explore with their teacher.

ICS is a community of learners. We support and nurture the 850 international students learning on our purpose-built campus, helping them rise to the challenge of achieving their potential, pursuing their passions and fulfilling their responsibilities.

As an international school, we welcome students of all nationalities and embrace our diversity as a community. We accept applications throughout the year and our Admissions staff is always happy to help answer questions and arrange visits.

At ICS, we recognise that learning happens in many different ways. We offer our students opportunities to learn through inquiry, experience and interaction with experts, in ways that are stimulating, engaging and relevant to them.

We encourage our students to involve themselves fully in ICS life. We offer a range of co- and extra-curricular activities that help our students learn new skills, discover and pursue their passions, gain confidence and make new friends.
